Ok, I forgot to post yesterday. I made it back to my room around 11:30 last night, and felt just so tired and lazy that I didn't want to set up my computer and pull something from my brain. So this my confession!

Anyhow, there are a couple of interesting posts that I would like to share:

1) Tattoo at graceisthepoint. He talks about a series he did because a large percentage of his church goers have tattoos or are considering getting them. I found this interesting due to the fact that we had a chapel service one day where our chapel director recounted her experience of getting a tattoo at Shotsie's (just for context, this was part of a January class called Ministry and the Imagination where they focused on the body). Apparently, about half of the people who this individual marks are clergy, which I found to be a fascinating statistic. From time to time I contemplate getting a tattoo and what it would be, but frankly I am too much of a wimp to do it, and I wouldn't want to have it fade and blur and look ugly in 20 or 30 years.

2) My fiancé over at Steeple Soapbox has a couple of posts entitled Stop Preaching (Part One and Part Two). His argument is based on the idea of multiple intelligences, and how what we do in worship really only appeals to one or two of these.

About Me

I'm just a follower of Jesus trying my best to live a grounded, rhythmed life in the midst of changing times. I invite you to come along with me as I struggle, discern, rant, celebrate, and sort my way through all the jumbled thoughts in my head.

On a more practical level, I live in Chebeague Island, ME. I love to play games of the Tabletop Variety (as well as RPGs), am fascinated by neo-monasticism and new (old!) forms of church, love to knit (though badly), and enjoy drinking strong coffee, watching sunsets, and talking into the wee hours of the morning with friends - when I manage to stay up past 11 PM.
